My Best Vacation

My Best Vacation Ever

     

                One a day I decided with three of my best friends to travel in the summer vacation to take a rest from the whole year hard work; After that, we start making list of options for the cities that we usually like to go. But one of my friends suggest that we have to visit a new country, and he recommended Maldives. Therefore, we bought the tickets and made the hotel reservation to visit Maldives. However, The Republic of the Maldives is a chain of around 1200 islands the Indian Ocean. The tiny islands are geographically grouped into ring shaped reefs called "atolls" and there are 26 of these atoll.

               When we arrived to the Maldives international airport after a long trip, we took a seaplane to reach the hotel. Then we arrived to the hotel, and it was really amazing. They gave us two overwater villas. Moreover, there are many water sports activities that we did in Maldives that is so exciting, such as Snorkeling, surfing, wind surfing, water skiing, fishing, banana riding, fun tubes, jet ski, kite surfing, glass bottom rides and even dolphin cruises. The most adventure activity that we didn't do because we were afraid is diving with the sharks. Moreover, we visit Male the capital of Maldives, and it was interesting. The people in Maldive are very kind and friendly, especially the staff of the hotel.

 Finally,  It was one of my best trips, and I hope that I can visit this wonderful country again in the soon future.
